COMPACT TRAY.

Application filed December 22, 1925. Serial No. 77,157.

This invention relates to improvements in holders or trays used for toilet compacts of rouge or face powder and especially relates to that type of holder or tray used in metal compact holders to accommodate three or more cakes or compacts within the same container.

A special object of this invention is the provision of a tray or holder which can be madefroni one piece of metal which will hold two semi-circular cakes or compacts and which will at the same time afford a partition between the two cakes.

Further objects of the invention will be apparent from the specification and drawings in which 7 Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my improved tray.

Fig. 2 is a plan View of the blank of metal from which my improved tray is made.

Fig. 3 is an end View of the blank.

Fig. 4 is a plan View of the blank with the depression formed in the center therein.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view along the line 25 5-5 of Fig. 4..

Fig. 6 is a plan view of the finished article.

Fig. 7 is a sectional view along the line 77 of Fig. 6.

The blank A in Fig. 2 is first intended to provide the base B with the wall 0 as shown in Fig. 4;. Then in a single operation the flange D and the partition E are formed from the blank A, the partition E being struck from the center and the two sides of the partition are forced together as shown in the finished product in Fig. 6. The protuberances F shown in Figs. 1 and 6 are made in the same operation. By using a blank of this character, a finished tray may be made which will easily accommodate two semicircular cakes or compacts and which can be easilyslipped on either side of an ordinary metal compact holder.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is: 1. A compact tray circular in form having a flat base, peripheral walls extending outward and upward on said base and a partition in the center at right angles to said base and substantially equal to the height of said tray, said partition being formed integrally with said tray from a single sheet of metal.

2. A compact tray circular in form, peripheral walls extending outward and upward from the base of said tray and a partition in the center at right angles to said base and substantially equal to the height of said tray, said partition being formed integrally with said tray from a single sheet of metal.

3. A compact tray made from a single sheet of metal having peripheral walls extending outward and upward from the base of said tray and a partition in the center at right angles to said base and substantially equal to the height of said tray, said partition being formed integrally with said tray.

4:. A compact tray having a flat base, peripheral walls extending outward and upward from said base, a partition in the center of said tray integral therewith and at right angles to the base thereof, said partition having a height substantially equal to the height of said tray.

5. A compact tray made from an elliptical blank having angular incisions on opposite sides thereof, a partition bifurcating said tray and integral therewith, and peripheral walls extending outward and upward from the base of said tray.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

WILLIAM G. KENDALL.
